I presume there was a divorce ....?

I believe it means that he had a foundry....


Re the County Down Halls - not sure if this helps:
My WJ Hall married a Jane Hall in Moira, County Down in 1846. I have not been able to find their marriage certificate. 
Jane Hall had two sisters, Sarah Hall and Mary Hall and possibly a brother Alexander Hall. Sarah was born in 1823 baptised in Donaghmore, Tyrone.  Their parents were Alexander Hall and Sarah Smythe.

All this is on my ancestry site.

Cheers,

Hello,
My cousin and I in Australia are tracing brothers William John and Joseph Hall, born in Shankill parish Lurgan 1817 (WJ) and 1819 (J)  to Joseph Hall and Anne Atkinson. They travelled to Australia in 1841 (Joseph) and 1849 (WJ). Their siblings seem to have stayed in Armagh. Joseph made pots of money  in Oz and then lived in Clooney, Clare after 1852. WJ died suddenly only a year after arriving in Oz and establishing a farm. He left a wife and four children.

We reached an impasse tracing their father Joseph, who we think may be the Joseph Hall  from Toberhuney who was baptised in 1790 and married in 1810 in the same church. 

We found references in the Belfast newsletter to a Joseph Hall having cattle, with a distillery and and  property whiich was sold after he was classified as a 'lunatic'. Do you have this information?
Do you know whether this man is in the same Lurgan Hall line as "our" Joseph Hall who married Anne Atkinson in 1810?

I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,
Cathy  Hall (and cousin Caroline)
